Comment:

 Restore is writing directly to the external storage medium (because
 there's no Sugar API for that, at least for Sugar 0.84+). The MIME type is
 "detected" by the Journal, not set by Backup. In order for the MIME type
 to be correctly detected, you need to either:

  1. install Restore from a .xo bundle (and possibly restart Sugar -
 haven't checked)
  2. have the fix for #2262 applied and installed Restore in the system
 (using setup.py)

 These need to happen '''before''' viewing the external medium that
 contains the backup.

 I'll check whether we can include the mimetypes.xml from Restore in Backup
 without adverse effects. That would work around the issue.
